TheVoiceOfJoyce Nashville is finally thinking about buried power lines. They’re not alone in their resistance. However, underground lines will protect houses and businesses from future climate extremes. With our pro fossil fuel policies, expect more violent storms. Georgia fires have not been abated and over 120 homes have been lost. Investment I infrastructure and teachers pays off. Reconsider your options

April 27, 2026

The main debate in Nashville is the cost of burying NES electrical wiring. I’ve listened to this debate for 30 yrs up North and it never happens. One thing is absolute, storms are becoming more frequent and intense. How much is your life and property worth?

TheVoiceOfJoyce Let’s pivot to climate news. It’s the reason we must change course in November, El Niño will cause the Planet to surpass 1.5 degrees Celsius and that’s the beginning of worse weather patterns and man’s inability to cope with weather extremes. Why are we allowing small oil producers to avoid cleanup? Why aren’t pipelines spills plugged and monitored for safety? If regions are experiencing drought who’s at risk ? Crops? People?

TheVoiceOfJoyce It’s interesting the Economists can’t understand why we have poor consumer confidence in prices we’re paying. I don’t understand their conundrum. We were told we’d have lower food prices and we’re not seeing them at the grocery store. In fact, when I can purchase all the items on my list , they’re 30% higher. Recently, many items requested aren’t available. Trump’s chaotic policies: tariffs and Wars are effecting our ability to manage household expenses. Why don’t the Economists understand?

April 17, 2026

Paul Krugman is trying to explain that the actual index doesn’t justify our sour mood on consumer prices. When you have a limited budget, increases in spending for necessities hurts. We have a right to be concerned. With Trump’s policies, it’s unlikely prices will go down.
